In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/vc4: hdmi: Move packet RAM enable to PM runtime
Audio can be triggered by the HPD handler and start up before video has
been restored, calling vc4_hdmi_write_infoframe() for the audio infoframe.
vc4_hdmi_write_infoframe() needs Packet RAM to be on to store the
infoframe, however, if the video hasn't been enabled,
vc4_hdmi_encoder_post_crtc_enable() hasn't been called and therefore, the
Packet RAM can be disabled by the time vc4_hdmi_write_infoframe() executes,
causing the following splat:

Considering that Packet RAM enable is essentially a power management
configuration, move its enabling/disabling to the Runtime PM hooks.
Note that post_crtc_disable() still stops all infoframes, but keeps Packet
RAM enabled, leaving it to be disabled by runtime suspend.

BOD 26-04 (CISA's remediation timeline, Table 1)14 days if the affected system is publicly exposed; Fix on system upgrade if it is not.
No released fix is confirmed on this page, but CISA's timeline does not wait for a fix's release: it starts when an agency identifies the flaw on an asset and updates the CDM Agency and Federal Dashboard, and the directive counts patching, decommissioning the system or another action as remediation. Until a fixed release is applied, mitigate as this page's verdict says. In the directive's words, “Fix on system upgrade” means that, “unless conditions change”, the vulnerability “should be remediated the next time the vulnerable asset receives a scheduled major upgrade or rebuild”: its timelines are “dynamic as facts change”, and a KEV listing shortens them.
The score's inputs: In CISA KEV no (CISA's KEV catalog) · Automatable no (CISA's BOD 26-04 default) · Technical impact total (CISA's BOD 26-04 default). Where an input reads “CISA's BOD 26-04 default”, no one has published it for this CVE, and CISA's implementation guidance says: “If “Automatable” and “Technical Impact” information items about a CVE ID are not available and the CVE ID is not in the KEV Catalog, CISA will treat its values as “no” and “total,” respectively, until CISA or a third party provides metadata about the CVE ID. CISA will always provide the Vulnrichment data for a CVE ID listed in the KEV Catalog.” Whether your system is publicly exposed is yours to answer. BOD 26-04 binds US Federal Civilian Executive Branch agencies; for anyone else it is CISA's published timeline, a reference rather than an obligation. The directive · how EchelonGraph applies it
